£400 to win £2000

• Patriots pk
• Packers - 7.5
• Bears - 2
• Colts + 10.5

• Saints/Broncos OVER 49.5

Any feedback is appreciated. Being in London means I will finally get a chance to see the Pats play

Season:

Didn't post yesterday, haven't really made any progress with my side plays as I seem to always break even with them! Oh well it's better than losing I guess. Anyway onto the chase...

Washington Nationals

• Game 1: Stauffer vs Detwiller
• Game 2: Bass vs Strasburg

The most obvious point to note here is Washington are 12-4 at home as opposed to the Pads dismal 3-9 road record. I like Detwiller who has prooved to be solid so far and has put up 4 quality starts in a row. Stauffer has obviously had his injury concerns so will be interesting to see how long it takes him to settle back in. I fancy the Nats to bounce back tonight but in the worst case scenario, Strasburg will get the job done for me tomorrow to make this a successful chase.

RISK £29 to WIN £20 (-145)

Miami Marlins

• Game 1: Lincoln vs Sanchez
• Game 2: Correia vs Johnson

Miami finally seem to be getting their act together and although they still worry the shit outta me, I believe that if they can score 3+ runs agaonst this horrible Pittsburgh offence it will be enough to win the game. I've always been a fan of Sanchez and with enough run support I hope I nail this chase game one.

RISK £27.45 to WIN £15 (-183)

BOL to all

Friday:

Chase: 1-0 (+£15.00)

Sides: 3-2 (+£7.90)

Season:

No chase today as Dodgers won it for me game 1 last night against the Rox. So looking forward to the early games Saturday...

Saturday

Mets @ Marlins 0 runs in the 1st inning -116

RISK £11.60 to WIN £10.00

Mets @ Marlins UNDER 3 H+R+E in the 1st inning -160

RISK £12.00 to win £7.50

Neither of these teams are prolific at scoring in the 1st innings (this season). R.A Dickey has impressive career numbers against the Marlins and Ricky Nolasco has been dealing in his last few games. I expect this to be a very tight game which could go either way, really cannot forsee any early action in this one.

Friday:

Chase: 1-0 (+£15.00)

Sides: 3-2 (+£7.90)

Season:

0 runs in the 1st plays

• Stros @ Rats (RISK £6.65 to win £5.00 -133)
• Padres @ Phillies (RISK £6 to win £5 -120)
• Mets @ Marlins (RISK £6.70 TO WIN £5 -134)

Big night for me

Like them all. BOL

Phillies worry me to win by 2, I know its the Pads but Phils can't hit shit atm.

BOL

BOL to you too

The money is nice but the fun of the game is what hooks me. If I can make money in the process, I will be a happy man. Free beer always tastes better.

Side plays:

Houston Astros +1.5 runs

I like Norris, always seems to be a dog but you know he will keep the Stros in the game. Houston's offence can get pretty brutal on occasion and I cannot see the Pirates beating anyone by 2 runs. Bit juicy for my liking but cannot see this losing.

Toronto Blue Jays - 1 run

Twins cannot get anything going for them at the moment and subsequently the Jays seem to be showing their potential at last. Blackburn is a pitcher I have never rated whilst Drabek has impressed me so far.

RISK £5.40 TO WIN £5 (-108)

Well I had mixed fortunes in April, won £6000 but only withdrew £2500 (from my £1100 starting roll) and ended up making fundamental errors which saw me waste the rest of it  A gung ho style of play will never win in the long term and I found this out the hard way...

Anyway moving on, I have adopted a new approach with low stakes betting. I deposited a mere £65 on Monday and have built this up to £117 at the end of play Thursday. As the title suggests I really want to see how far I can make this go, as the enjoyment factor of this far supasses the need and desire for instant success. I understand this is sod all for most people but hey I'm having fun and slowly getting there!

For the meantime I am currently playing the martingale chase system. I know others are doing the same but I am picking my own series and so far this has been successful. My side plays mainly consist of 0 runs in the 1st innings. I love this bet right now and with extensive research generally hope I can top up my balance gradually.

• Deposit: £65
• Balance: £117.15
• Difference: +£52.15
• Chase System: 2-0 (+£20.00)
• Side Plays: 9-5-1 (+£32.15) 

Friday 11-5-12

Chase selection: LA Dodgers

Projected Starters:

• Moyer vs Capauno
• Nicasio vs Harang
• TBD vs Lilly

LA have obviously started the season well and a key factor to this is their impressive home form (12-3). Colorado however are presently 13-17 which includes a 5-7 road record and only 3 wins in their last 10 games. I love the pitching match up here and cannot see the Dodgers dropping a game in this series, let alone getting swept. I hope to take the money game 1 with a surprisingly good Chris Capuano on the mound against Jamie Moyer who I believe will be out of his depth against this lineup.
